Saw a GTV in a car park in Bath on Wednesday surrounded by 4 people taking pictures from every angle... it was mine! Stomach dropped as I thought someone had hit it and were taking photos for insurance or something. Went over to see what was going on and it was 4 yanks taking pictures to show their uncle who loves them... apparently they don't see many in the states... phew

Didn't mean to offend.
FYI a rear spoiler was on most variants just an optional extra at new. You can see a 2.0TS or a 3.0V6 with a rear spoiler and at first glance they look identical. The only exterior difference is the inclusion of a air intake on the front left hand side of the front bumper for 3.0V6.
A Cup however is a limited edition of just 155 cars in the UK. All red, all 3.0v6 and with full body kits (rear spoiler, front spoiler and side skirts) shinier wheels and a special cloth/leather interior. In Europe Cups were also a limited edition but silver with the full body kit etc. They may have been exclusively 2.0 but I am not 100% sure on that.

Oh no offense taken - you'll have to go a long way to offend me

You're probably on the money there with a bit added on - would make sense if they only arrived on our shores in red, and only 155 of them at that!

Saw a blue V reg V6 GTV drive past me on Senwick Road, Wellingborough @ 17.40 ish as I was walking down the road - was literally thinking about the possibility of getting a V6, so I'll take seeing this one as a sign!

Darling, it was me!
You're very observant about the vents. It's a Ph 2 2.0TS, so why should it have vents - it doesn't have any other form of body kit? But I like its colour, wheels, roll over bars, cloth seats and manual hood.
